BBC News - Jet and Turkish Airlines 777 in 'near-miss' over London
Isn't this becoming worryingly common? Now I happily watched a Citation zoom beneath my LHR inbound in exactly the same place last week but I expected he'd be at least 1000 ft below as I am familiar with the area.
However didn't Air Canada have an issue in exactly the same place descending this time into a City outbound recently?
I used to live near LCY and whilst having seen aircraft perform this departure / arrival dance many times, it seems to me that good fortune has played a part in avoiding a major incident. I'm hardly a tabloid sensationalist but this surely isn't the safest way to seperate traffic with both flows in a crucial and often distracted phase of flight.
What changes are being made to stop this happening for real next time?
